Los Angeles - Intel has provided an undisclosed amount of funding to back a community animation project, Mass Animation, which will produce a five-minute film by outsourcing over 100 animation shots to volunteer animators found online, VentureBeat reported.

"Live Music" was written by former Sony Pictures Digital head Yair Landau, and features musical performances from Steve Vai and Ann Marie Calhoun.

Animators chosen to help work on the film, which is intended to be screened in theaters before a first-run movie, will each receive a credit and $500.
